    Echenacia does has some immune boosting properties but it needs to be actual Echenacia. Most low quality herbal supplements are not what they are labeled. Since there are no regulations they can put whatever in there. If you really want to the actual benefits even make it yourself or get it from a higher quality sources. I am planning on making some whole plant Echenacia tincture this year for next winter

      I’ve always purchased this specific brand and am afraid to dabble in any others. I’m living in Canada so I don’t know what the regulations are here, but the product is labeled as organic Echenacia extract and it seems to work well.

        Not sure about the brand but if it helps then it’s likely good
